Almost all new trailers come with the KIB monitor panel which can monitor battery, fresh, gray and black water tanks. They look like this:

Typically the tank sensors are bolts in rubber bushings in the tank at various levels. As has been said, they work pretty well in the fresh but not so much in the waste tanks. A solution to that are the upgraded probes:
Horst Miracle Probes
I put them in and don't have any problems with the tank readings. They aren't completely foolproof though. The KIB stuff can be gotten at you local RV dealer or on line through dealers, Amazon or EBay. Horst sells probes direct.
The best (and very pricey solution are the SeeLevel Gauges which are external sensors and can't get fowled up.
